1a) Table Format: These are the national standards in a summarized (user friendly!!!!) style.
Linked are the full standards for each grade group as well. http://solar-center.stanford.edu/standards/
2) Next Generation Science Standards were released in April 2013 http://www.nextgenscience.org
This is what you'll find on the home page: Next Generation Science Standards for Today’s Students and Tomorrow’s Workforce: Through a collaborative, state-led process managed by Achieve, new K–12 science standards have been developed that are rich in content and practice, arranged in a coherent manner across disciplines and grades to provide all students an internationally benchmarked science education. The NGSS is based on the Framework for K–12 Science Education developed by the National Research Council. 3) Common Core State Standards (CCSS)
These mathematics and language arts (reading, writing, speaking) standards are integrated within the state academic standards and identified as CCSS. http://www.corestandards.org
This is what you'll find on the home page: The Common Core State Standards provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them. The standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success in college and careers. With American students fully prepared for the future, our communities will be best positioned to compete successfully in the global economy.
1) Book Format: The national science standards last updated in 1996.
